No way, i have 50!

I'll bring a few:) Omnibot, omnibot 2000, a few wall-e's, ar drone, r2d2, k9, dalek.. i think that'll be it

I would have liked to fly down but there's no way we will be able to package the robots up nicely for shipping. Looks like i'm driving eek

#9  

50.. oh my....

Nasty. That's a long drive. You could ship them on a pallet. I know an awesome shipper that is cheaper than anywhere I have ever seen. I'd be happy to pass on his info if you are interested.

But if you have to drive I hope you have company.

#10  

Thats a really fun drive to. LOL! 3 of us ran up to Langley BC once. Hope to see you here in California then DJ !:)

#11  

Dam..... would love too... but I cant make it out to the West coast with that short notice.....Dam.... If you guys give me a 2 month heads up. I can do it and bring my droid........but for the mean time.. Ill be hitting up the 2012 Wizard World Philadelphia Comic Con.

#12  

I wish I could ship my robot to dj there for display / demonstration , that would be such a honor no kidding.

#14  

@ DJ will see you there. Do you need any help?

Also if anyone else is going and needs tickets please let me know. I have an extra set. We got ours then I got a free pair because I am a part of the Make: Beta Team.

DJ, Dude! Loved the Maker Faire and your preso. But for cryin' out loud, I purchased the kit right then and there, Cert. #20. It's been nearly a month eek , and no goods. I understand that Maker is slackin' on getting the list of buyers to you so you can ship, but maybe you can expedite some units so we can start playin' around with the hardware.

The wait is killin' me!!!!

(Thanks;) )

I'm waiting to hear back from the Shed. They have had the kits in their posession for a while, not sure when they're going out. I'll probe Alan tomorrow and see if he has heard anything.
